Where exactly is this? There's great photos, but no address. . .
Bill,
As I understand the call letters from the WBBM radio/TV (Chicago CBS) actually resulted from the 'motto' of a very early radio show broadcasting live big band dance music from the Broadmoor ballroom, "We Broadcast Broadmoor Music". In those days the Broadmoor was a very 'ritzy', high-end residential Hotel and Howard Street was a thriving upscale retail/entertainment district.
7600 N Bosworth Ave
(Howard and Bosworth)
The information gathered for this article was from the site listed which was gathered from the Rogers Park Historical Society.
thanks!
